After hearing this, the old lady looked extremely depressed.

He gently stroked the fan and powder that Yin Rui had brought back with one hand, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"To be honest, I am the old lady to blame. If Shang'er hadn't been afraid that I would be lonely in Beijing, and he had been busy fighting and running around, even the Luo family couldn't be stable, he would have decided to send the two children back to me to take care of them.

"For more than ten years, I have never been able to slack off, fearing that I would ruin my child. In the end, the child remembered my kindness and became close to me, which was like a thorn in Luo's side.

"Now that my two brothers are in trouble, Luo hates me and even more so that the two children have brought shame to her, isn't that the case?"

Aunt Tang couldn't stand the old lady always taking the blame on herself, and said angrily, "It's not right for the old lady to say that. She voluntarily sent the child back then, and no one forced her. Who are you doing this for now?

"Besides, a son will never think his mother is ugly, so how can a mother think her child is a burden?

"She is like this not because she is angry with the children, but because she is deliberately angry with the old lady. It's no wonder that the two brothers are disliked by her for no reason!

"It's fine if the second brother doesn't know anything, but the eldest brother can't see, but he knows everything. If she continues like this, the children will be driven to death by her!"

The old lady knew it very well. As she touched the fan and powder, her eyes turned red with heartache.

Suddenly, she thought of the medicine Jiang Ying had given her. A bold idea flashed through her mind. She landed on the ground and grabbed Nanny Tang's hand, "Huifang, you...you tell me, can I, Jiang girl..."

The words were intermittent and unclear, but Nanny Tang and the old lady had been master and servant for many years, so they understood her meaning tacitly. She asked in surprise, "Does the old lady want to try Miss Jiang's medicine on the two young masters?"

The latter nodded bitterly, "I have invited all the imperial doctors and doctors in the capital, but no one can do anything..."

So even if it's just for consolation, the old lady wants to give it a try.

What if it works?

Nanny Tang was so shocked by the old lady's idea that she couldn't recover for a long time, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was not impossible.

I had originally planned to ask Miss Jiang to show it to the two gentlemen.

Not only was yesterday's trip in a hurry, but many other things also happened, and the plans were disrupted.

Now that we know that Miss Jiang is the Duke's descendant, and the biological sister of the two young masters, it is not out of line to ask her to take a look.

However, Nanny Tang had another worry, "Will this expose Miss Jiang's identity in advance?"

The two young men have birthmarks, one on the back of their necks and the other on their forearms. If Miss Jiang takes their pulses, she might be able to see them.

It was such an obvious thing, and Miss Jiang was not stupid, so she would definitely ask about it right away.

By then, it will be difficult to hide the truth!

The old lady knew that Nanny Tang's concerns were real. After a moment's silence, she asked Nanny Tang, "How is the investigation going on with Miss Jiang?"

There is insufficient evidence now to complete the process of children’s identification with their ancestors, so it is best to keep it secret to avoid alerting the enemy.

But if we find out the whole story and confirm Jiang girl's identity, these concerns will no longer exist!

"There hasn't been much progress." Nanny Tang said with regret and helplessness, "I was just about to report this to the old lady.

"That's right. The more I investigate, the more strange it seems to me. How could a living person not have any traces of life? It's impossible that Miss Jiang jumped out from a crack in the rock!"

The old lady laughed, "You are old and confused. She didn't come out of a crack in the stone. She is my granddaughter."

Aunt Tang couldn't help laughing, "Why, you're calling me granddaughter already?

"What's the point of us knowing, where's the evidence?

"We can't tell others that we compared the birthmarks of Miss Jiang and several young masters and dukes!

"We still need to find out the whole story of our origins. Recognizing our ancestors is no small matter for the clan. If we don't find out, the Luo family won't recognize us, and the Duke might even cheat on us."

"He dares!"

The old lady became anxious and glared angrily.

She has decided on this granddaughter, and no one can destroy this relationship!

"Chengchengcheng, you are so capable, the Duke dare not disobey you." Nanny Tang was helpless, "Then I will send someone to investigate further.

“However, there is one thing that I am hesitant about, which is that you asked Yin Shuang to draw Miss Jiang’s birthmark for comparison.

"I took it yesterday and took a closer look. I really found that the birthmark of our young lady is slightly different from that of Miss Jiang, the three young masters and the Duke."

"What's the difference?" These words made the old lady unconsciously perk up.

My mind also trembled.

Because a long time ago, when Jiang Yilin just returned home at the age of eight or nine, she checked the birthmark on Jiang Yilin's back, and at that time, she felt that there was something wrong with the birthmark.

At first glance, the color was darker and the borders were rough, which was different from what she often saw on Yiger and Chenger.

For this reason, she secretly consulted Luo in private.

As a result, Luo cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself. People said that she favored boys over girls, that she hated the whole family, and that she didn't like Sister Lin to speak directly. She was putting the blame on both of them!

God bless her, she never treated anyone differently. On the contrary, no matter whether it was her three brothers or Sister Lin, they were all her dearest.

However, Luo had a guilty conscience. She was afraid that Langge'er and Linjie'er would be as close to her as the eldest and second oldest children. She kept giving the two children psychological hints, asking them to stay away from Kangjitang.

Over the years, except for the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month when the two children would come to Kangji Hall to pay their respects on time, they rarely saw each other on weekdays, just like distant relatives living in the mansion.

Nanny Tang said a few words, then turned around and took out the folded rice paper from the cabinet, unfolded it, and showed it to the old lady carefully, "Look, think about the birthmark of the young lady again, don't you think it is somewhat similar in form but not in spirit?"

Birthmarks, unlike paintings, are natural and very difficult to fake.

This is like the flowers blooming in summer. No matter how good the painter is, he cannot paint them exactly the same.

Speaking of the Jiang family’s birthmark, it is a pink plum flower, of moderate size, of just the right shade, blending seamlessly into the skin without any visible boundaries.

Therefore, if they are not naturally unified enough, people will feel that they are similar in form but not in spirit.

The old lady narrowed her eyes. In fact, she had this feeling the first time she saw Sister Lin’s birthmark.

But Luo was threatening to kill herself, so she thought it was better to keep out of trouble and didn't investigate further.

Looking back now, not only did the strange feeling from that year resurface, but there was also a kind of frightening weakness. "This... maybe it's just our unfounded feeling. What can it prove?"
